The aforementioned Rosalba Carriera pastel of Coulson Fellowes (1696-1769) realised a total of £400,000 hammer (£508,000 inc. fees) over its £15,000 - 25,000 estimate at Cheffins in Cambridgeshire yesterday. The press release from the auction house claim this is a new auction record for the artist (confirmed by a search on Artnet too), which is rather impressive indeed!
